The Dreadnought Toll

Fourteen Revelation-class dreadnoughts led the capital losses, followed by eight Moros and seven Zirnitras. Six Apostles and three Revelation Navy Issue hulls completed the heaviest wreckage. The side including Dread and Buried and Dreadnought Diplomacy. was observed fielding Revelation Navy Issue and Tempest Fleet Issue, while the side including PUT THE FRIES IN THE BAG and Nourv Gate Security Commission was observed using Apocalypse Navy Issue and Revelation.

The Costliest Wreck

The single most expensive loss belonged to Prince Keldar of PUT THE FRIES IN THE BAG, whose Apostle force auxiliary was destroyed at an estimated 11.6 billion ISK. The final blow was credited to ringkeeper, a pilot of Dread and Buried. That Apostle was one of six destroyed in the battle, but its value eclipsed every individual dreadnought loss on the field.

A Different Kind of Presence

LowSechnaya Sholupen appeared in Bantish with a different profile: Naga hulls and Jackdaw tactical destroyers. Their observed hulls added a different weight to an engagement otherwise dominated by capital and battleship frames, though the record stops short of showing how or when they struck.
